Shafag Novruz, a young makeup artist and bridal hairstylist, crossed paths with Rita, a homeless woman struggling to survive after years on the streets. Instead of looking away, Shafag saw Rita’s humanity and potential, offering compassion and care that went far beyond appearance. Rita, who lived clinging to memories of her late son and collecting plastic bottles to get by, had long dreamed of rebuilding her life. This simple yet profound act of empathy sparked a transformation that has inspired thousands and shown how one person’s kindness can change another’s path.
